Mauricio Pochettino remains Real Madrid's number one target, should they part ways with Zinedine Zidane.

World Cup winner Zidane is already under pressure to keep his job after re-joining the club towards the end of last season.

It is not clear whether Pochettino wants to leave Spurs, considering he signed a five-year contract extension in 2018.

But the Mirror says Real will be ready to pounce if the Argentine hints at wanting to leave North London.

Los Blancos are convinced of Pochettino's pedigree after he guided Spurs to the Champions League final last season.

Some reports have suggested Pochettino is frustrated with Spurs after last summer's transfer window.
